The Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988 requires the Federal Government to produce a comprehensive National Drug Control Strategy that identifies needed resources and measurable goals. With an estimated 2.7 million hardcore drug users on the streets and Americans spending $49 billion annually on illegal drugs, the 1994 National Drug Control Strategy establishes the following specific objectives: reduce the number of hardcore drug users through drug treatment at an average annual rate of 5 percent; reduce the number of casual or intermittent drug users at an average annual rate of 5 percent; guarantee basic drug treatment services as part of the proposed Health Security Act; reverse the recent increase in the prevalence of illicit drug and tobacco use among students by 1996; put 100,000 more police officers on the street to work with communities; ensure that Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities address drug use, trafficking, and prevention; double the number of community antidrug coalitions by 1996; and strengthen drug control initiatives that focus on source countries. For fiscal year 1995, $13.2 billion has been requested to fund drug control efforts. The budget requests additional resources in four major program areas: (1) reducing hardcore drug use through treatment; (2) ensuring safe and drug-free schools by improving drug prevention programs; (3) empowering communities to combat drug-related violence and crime; and (4) increasing international program efforts. Additional information on the National Drug Control Strategy is contained in three appendixes. Endnotes, tables, and figures
